Just a typical weekend living by the gulf.

Saturday we went to the beach in Galveston. Then on Sunday we experienced hurricane season with our first hurricane warning.

Jimmy got a new do too!!

We all went to Andrea's in Austin for the 4th of July. It must have been really hot becuase Jimmy felt inspired to shave his head. It's so cute!! He hasn't had his hair this short since he was in Mexico on his mission!

Living the life...TEXAS style!

We love our new place! For those of you who went to our old house, it's quite a change. It's brand new, as opposed to 1940s quaintness. We really like it... and there are other openings!!! Anyone looking for a change? Get down here! There's a beautiful pool, gym, and cute apartments!

New DO!!!

What better way to begin your 28th year than with a new hair do! I don't know what possessed me! I went with Melissa to get her bangs trimmed and the lady had an opening so I chopped my hair off! It feels great to do something a little crazy sometimes, doesn't it!?

Party!

For my birthday on the 25th, we went to the most DELICIOUS restaurant in the Galleria. WOW! If you have a Maggianos in your area, GET THERE, and get there quick! And may I recommend the CHOCOLATE CAKE! http://www.maggianos.com/
Jimmy and I have big plans to become professional beach bums. We went to Galveston several weeks ago, were not well equipped, and paid the price with our blistered skin. Next time we'll be prepared! Jimmy got this sweet set up for my birthday! Thanks Jimmy!!! Can't wait to get down there next weekend!!

Happy Birthday to ADAM!

One of the benefits of living in Houston is being so close to my twin ADAM! Though we have 5 years between us we practically have the same brain! I'm glad we can be here to hang out when he comes down from his home in College Station. Today, for example, I texted him while watching one of our favorite shows to let him know I was in the middle of a BURN NOTICE marathon.... He, of course, was watching it too!
For his birthday on June 19th, we went to his favorite restaurant, Texas Land and Cattle, and then to watch Star Trek.
Happy Birthday, Bud! We love you!
